Introduction

Effective community planning brings together the collective talents and resources of local public services and communities, to facilitate positive change on local priorities. This collective effort ensures maximum impact in communities with a particular emphasis on reducing inequalities. Community Planning Partnerships (CPP) are responsible for developing and delivering plans for their respective areas.

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 places a responsibility on CPPs to produce two types of plan, outlining local priorities, required actions and timescales. The first is the Local Outcomes Improvement Plan (LOIP), which encompasses the entire local authority area. The second type is a Locality Plan and covers smaller areas, usually focusing on the areas requiring most improvement. Each CPP will produce at least one Locality Plan although some produce a few; there is no limit on how many can be produced. As the main aim is to address local needs and ambitions, it is important the views of the community are heard and incorporated into any plans. The Outer Hebrides Community Planning Partnership (OHCPP) have agreed two priority areas, one of which is Stornoway West – with a particular focus on the Cearns within the Stornoway West area.

Stornoway West

Why focus on Stornoway West

The improvement service of the Scottish Government gathers information about the social, economic and health experiences of communities. This ‘community profiling tool’ allows local areas such as Stornoway West to be compared with other areas within the Outer Hebrides and with similar areas in Scotland. The tool displays the outcomes in an area and whether people's lives are improving as well as showing whether inequality is increasing or decreasing over time. It considers outcomes 'in the round' as well as individually, encouraging a focus on vulnerable communities where negative outcomes are clustered. The chart below shows that Stornoway West is experiencing some of the worst outcomes compared to elsewhere and that the rate of improvement over time is slower than those areas

In Stornoway West most people enjoy a good quality of life, but this isn’t the case for all members of the community and we are committed to change this. Communities should be safe, secure and vibrant where people can achieve success and enjoy good physical, mental and emotional health and well being.

To achieve this goal we need people and their communities to be at the centre of our planning and delivery, to work with people to tackle things that matter most to them, to improve their livelihood and welfare and to make a positive difference to their lives and communities. We recognise that communities can make positive changes for themselves and so we will increase the level of influence and control that they have over the decisions and services that impact on their lives and communities.

If we are to achieve the highest quality of life for all of the people in the Stornoway West area, we need to combat the effects of poverty and inequality. This means targeting our efforts and resources to those in most need and who will benefit most in a way that we haven’t done before, through community projects identified by community and partners.

This first locality plan for Stornoway West sets out action we will take to bring about positive change in the area, based on our understanding of these communities and what matters to the people who live there. It is a plan for the whole community and for all aspects of its development: economic, social and physical. There are short (2020), medium (2023) and longer term outcomes (2027).

There are associated ambitious proposals for the Regeneration of Stornoway town, including a major Port development, which align with the top priority for the Outer Hebrides identified by the Place Standard: ‘Work and Local Economy’. If implemented, this development will have significant economic benefits and the Locality Plan will identify how this may produce opportunities for Stornoway West. The Place Standard data also identifies ’Facilities, Amenities and Social interaction’ as a particularly high priority

for people in the Stornoway West area. In recognition of this priority the Locality Plan will focus attention on the main residential estate in the Stornoway West area - commonly referred to as the Cearns – with a view to addressing these issues. The learning and experience from our initial focus on the Cearns area will then inform our approach to other parts of Stornoway West. The Plan also seeks to connect residents of the Cearns Estate to opportunities that will arise from the wider economic developments being progressed in Stornoway West.

What the data is telling us

Stornoway West is an Intermediate zone composed of 4 datazones: 1) Marybank to Newvalley; 2) North Manor Park; 3) North Bayhead and 4) Central Stornoway.

Stornoway West has an overall population of 3,226. North Manor Park contains 633 people. There are 343 households, with a large proportion of single adults dwellings (152). The birth rate is higher than Stornoway West and the islands.

In terms of care needs, there are 108 people with long-term health problems or disability and 42 people in receipt of unpaid care.

The age distribution within North Manor Park is slightly different to that of Stornoway West and the islands as a whole, with more people in the younger age ranges and less people in the older age ranges.

On the maps below Marybank to Newvalley is the datazone to the west of the map. North Manor Park is the area towards the North East, with North Bayhead below that moving towards Central Stornoway towards the South. North Manor Park is the datazone that includes the Cearns and surrounding area.

The Community Profile has identified 6 indicators of health and wellbeing that are easily compared at datazone level. The coloured areas display the variation in outcomes for the population of each of these datazones. The size of the population means that small differences can lead to larger variations at any one time, so we have to be cautious, but the trends are consistent with the data presented below.

In terms of income related indicators North Manor Park (24.8%) has double the rate of Child Poverty compared to Marybank and Newvalley. (12%) These rates are well above the rate for the Outer Hebrides. Out of work benefit proportions are also higher with 16.28 % within Manor Park compared to 7.8% in Marybank

The proportion of children achieving national grade qualifications is comparable with other areas in the datazone and slightly below the Outer Hebrides. Significantly the percentage of people going into positive destinations falls well below the surrounding datazones and the Outer Hebrides as a whole. (Sty W 82% to OH 98%)

The crime rate is higher in North Manor Park than the outer Hebrides as a whole and similar to rates in other surrounding datazones. The rate of emergency admissions has a similar profile being above the Outer Hebrides and comparable to surrounding datazones.

The Stornoway West area, generally has poorer outcomes and is improving at a slower rate than other areas in the Outer Hebrides. There are a range of indicators where Stornoway West has outcomes that are significantly worse than the islands as a whole.

What we know about the Cearns

The Cearns comprises 250 units that house approximately 600 residents is a mix of social and privately owned houses. It is semi urban in design, with houses spaced around pedestrian courts. The scheme has a high population density, higher levels of unemployment, a lack of recreational amenities and a uniform, repetitive design. The housing and environment are, however, generally in good condition with some green space and there is a strong sense of community.

There is a community association that was formed in 1983. The Cearns Community Association seeks to work with residents and create a safe, nurturing, active community that instils a sense of belonging. It is a voluntary constituted group made up of local representative and nominated office bearers within the Cearns, which has facilitated drop- in sessions for parents and babies, the elderly and the women of the community. A number of initiatives have been instigated, based on feedback from the community. A previous horticultural project utilised unused green space to establish a polytunnel for residents which provided fresh, affordable produce. It is planned for this space to be used for mini-allotments.

There is a Resource Centre that is used by partners and work there with the association to help identify community needs and deliver improvements. The Cearns is distinct enough geographically and in terms of population size to have a number of informal social networks. The recruitment of a Community Development Worker has helped to develop such networks, with the project acting as a vehicle for community engagement and a link to agencies/services. There is also a small community hall, the “Tigh Ceilidh” which can be used for meetings and activities.

Aspiring communities fund

An application was submitted on behalf of the Cearns Community association to the European Social Aspiring Communities Fund and over £53,000 was secured. A Community Development Worker was subsequently employed in May 2019. The post is for a duration of 15 months and the worker is a local resident who has lived in the area all of her life.

The priorities for the worker will focus on a number of areas the community felt needed improved. These include more support for an older people’s group in the community; a parent and toddler group; befriending services and provision of youth activities. There is a desire to see the existing assets improved to ensure they are used to the maximum potential. The Community Development Officer will be targeting these priorities that are also aligned with the LOIP and will work to improve economic and employability outcomes.

Vision Statement The vision of Cearns Community Association (CCA) and the Cearns Development Programs (CDP) is to empower our community by working in partnership with all residents and enabling them to meet the needs of their communities.

Mission Statement Our mission is to connect these communities to public agencies and businesses, creating conditions for integration, equal access and inclusion. This will be achieved through applying collective expertise and innovative solutions, supporting local initiatives and capacity building in communities.

The story so far

Community Consultation o A door to door community consultation was carried out in partnership with HHP (Hebridean Housing Partnership). See appendix 1 (Consultation Results)

Community Events o Over 200 people from Stornoway North attended a fun day in the Cearns in August 2019, that was jointly funded by the Cearns Community Association and the Aspiring Communities fund. Money raised was donated to help start a Spring Chickens older people group. o On 31st October 2018, a Halloween party was held in the town hall, arranged by CLD, NHS and Cearns Community Association. 165 people joined the fun, also enjoying the baking and food provided by the Cearns Community Association. Money raised was used to help finance the re-establishment of a senior citizen’s group in the area. Another Halloween party was held on 31st October 2019, in the Cearns Ceilidh House. Monies raised will support youth activities in the area. o The senior citizen’s group now meets on the last Thursday of every month and have received support to write their constitution and set up their own independent bank account.

Community Newsletter The Cearns community Newsletter was re- established in December 2018, keeping the community informed of the local events – and providing up to date information on what’s going on in the area, development work. It gets delivered to every home in the area via a mail drop. The Newsletter, newly renamed “Yarns from The Cearns” will go out every quarter and be deliver to every home via mail drop.

Community Garden £16,000 was secured by the HHP from the social housing fund for a Cearns Green Space Development Project and Rejuvenation Initiative. This will develop a community garden and purchase four bikes and purchase a shed to house them. These will be situated at the green space where the polytunnels are currently located and will be transformed into mini allotments, providing an important opportunity for residents to engage and socialise. The long-term goal is to create a green gym/hub which will help improve the health and wellbeing of local people.

The Embark project is advising on the bike shed project. The bikes are for the use of the whole community and Embark will help to ensure the resource is used to its full potential and that the bikes are properly stored and maintained.

The Ceilidh Cafe ‘Drop In Surgery’ The Ceilidh Cafe, or Talking Cafe, was opened on 30th September 2019 as an informal setting for a drop in surgery where support and advice can be offered by the appropriate organisation. It will also be a place for residents to share their aspirations and ideas in a relaxed, informal setting with, refreshments available. This area will be used as a continuous tool in community engagement and is part of the Aspiring Communities development work.

What people are telling us

The Place Standards survey

The survey was carried out throughout the Western Isles, with 1174 responses received. Residents were asked their opinion on a wide range of issues and the top priorities were identified. The CPP then looked at the results, along with data from other sources, and decided on what priorities to focus and improve on for the next few years.

Participants were also asked to provide comments on why they rated their answers as they did and, at the end of the questionnaire, to rank their top three priorities out of the fourteen elements.

Place standard priorities: The Outer Hebrides as a whole chose work and local economy as the first priority with almost 5% more than any of the other categories and more than double 11 of the 14 categories. This was followed by Facilities and amenities on 13%, then Public transport on 10%.

Stornoway West has a greater emphasis on Facilities and amenities, as well as Social interaction when compared with the overall priorities and the other locality.

Engagement with the community Further community engagement discussions have taken place in the Cearns area with a view to identifying opportunities to improve the quality of life of people living in the area.

A Community Signature consultation was co-ordinated by Community Learning and Development. This is a diagnostic tool (Signature) that engages with and measures community capacity and provides the information needed to improve services and outcomes for communities. Alongside this, an NHS project worker held face to face interviews with residents of the Stornoway West area to expand on the priorities established through the Place Standard survey.

Both tools provided enhanced data on local needs and priorities, identifying areas of strength and anticipated barriers, which require to be addressed if the communities are to benefit from new forms of services.

The five main priorities identified in both documents for Stornoway North/West were:

Priorities Place Standard Tool Community Signature 1 Work and Local Economy Housing 2 Facilities and amenities Employment 3 Social Interaction Transport 4 Public Transport Community Assets 5 Play and recreation Growing Old

Engagement Outcomes Lack of job opportunities The population of the Cearns includes many age groups and household types, including single and potential for career parents, families with small children and elderly people. The latter are not isolated geographically development. Very few employment opportunities from local services as the town of Stornoway is close by, but many live on their own and are outside the public sector. unable to go outside their homes.

Unemployment and low income feature high in the area. People want work, desiring at least part-time employment; but the overall feeling is that childcare is not affordable or flexible.

Community Assets A Ceilidh House and a Resource Centre can be found on either side of the Cearns Shop. Both venues There is a perception of have Wi-Fi facilities and can be used as an outreach location by partner agencies; however, space is prejudice and bias towards “locals” connections including still limited and additional accommodation is required if the development project is to expand. the influence of the church. The land at the top of the Cearns is available for use by the community and it is proposed that this area could be split into mini allotments, along with picnic tables and seating provided for the community.

Employment The following were identified as being key to addressing employment issues:  Help with computer skills and technology as a whole. Concern is apparent  Tips on completing job applications and job hunting. regarding the retention  Information regarding welfare benefits. of young people especially in an ageing  Information on available training and college bursaries. community.  Confidence building training.

 It is important to keep employment local.

Growing old The demographics of the Cearns have changed over the past 10 to 15 years, with many of the increasingly elderly residents experiencing feelings of isolation. To address this, time and resources are required to host appropriate community events such as afternoon teas and outdoor trips. This would give the residents the opportunity to meet each other on a social basis and allow them to put forward any ideas they may have for future events/activities. Training, education and skills require firming up although there were many With the number of elderly increasing, making links with the young people in the area would be of positive comments benefit to both groups. Therefore, the area will participate in a wider intergenerational project, regarding local training and which will focus on social isolation, community engagement and an exchange of skills and education provision. knowledge.

Transport Improvements There is no school bus to and from the Stornoway Primary and, with regard to public transport in general, required with regard it was felt there was a lack of a proper bus provision. The community are not aware of any plans to to transport/ITC and Broadband address these concerns. Pot holes were also identified as a problem for the area. connections

Housing Fuel poverty is another area highlighted as being an issue. High fuel prices and low incomes have contributed to people not being able to adequately heat their homes; this often causes damp and condensation, bringing with it the associated health conditions. This is being addressed by HHP through insulation programmes and a heating replacement programme over the next two years, but still leaves a high level of fuel poor in the area. The Community Association, in conjunction with TIG, are currently encouraging residents to explore other power suppliers with a view to switching providers. Also highlighted was the need for improved maintenance and repair systems in the area.

Young people A need was identified by some for organised summer holiday activities to cover all ages. A Lack of childcare and the costs of existing manned drop-in centre would facilitate a parent and toddler group and provide support for childcare restricts job parents. Overall, the feeling was that more activities were required for young people and take up. families in general.

Investment in community More Through the Comhairle Capital Grants Scheme, the Cearns Community Association have support/incentives been awarded £9,400 to help improve two play parks: one at the bottom of the scheme required for business start up and one in the middle. and a reduction of associated costs such as rates.

The LOIP and Action Plans

A combination of consultation responses, existing partner knowledge, strategies and policies contributed to the development of the Outer Hebrides Local Outcomes Improvement Plan. Main themes and Priorities were established by the CPP for the whole of the Outer Hebrides. A locality group for Stornoway West was formed with representatives from a variety of organisations, including the Comhairle, NHS Western Isles, H.I.E, Police, Fire Service, SNH, HHP and T.I.G and from the local community like the Community Association. Their task was to develop an overarching locality action plan that linked to the LOIP
